Hi, I think this is a weed, it is probably a South American species in sect. Gireoudia.

Dear Garg ji,
It is growing as very wild attached naturally to rock stone (see in the picture) in an old age one's property who loves conservation of wild medicinal plants.  He revealed that the stem also having tamarind taste. The property lies in temperate biome having many huge rocks, canopied places, non shady places and nice stream also.  But 
the said plant is growing in non shady place, but facing north side, that's why the sunlight doesn't falls directly on the plant during summer day time.

Regards, Sam.
